After much deliberation, dozens of changes (and probably dozens more to come en route), we have locked on the following the destinations below. Our key criteria were to i) discover new places with our children (almost all are places Thierry and I have either never been to, or only seen very small parts of), ii) a good mix of adventure, discovering new cultures and places to simply connect as a family, iii) not to be on the move non-stop and iv) avoid the typhoons!
